This chapter discusses the preconditions for high and rising female labour force participation rates among olderworkers inDenmark, marked by a highly developed welfare state and flexible labour markets. Main findings are that changing labour market practices of older women are conditioned by economic and symbolic stimuli encouraging older workers voluntarily to prolong their working life as well as measures combatting exclusionary mechanisms in the Danish labour market.
